Under current plans, the UK Government have pledged to ban the sale of all new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030, with a ban on new hybrid sales in 2035 as part of its strategy to cut the transport sector’s carbon emissions. It’s estimated that over the next 10 years, 10 million people will make the switch to an EV. And this year is proving that hybrids and EV’s are gaining in popularity, with sales up by 68% for hybrids and 47% for fully electric vehicles compared to August 2020. So, with the admin fees covered by Creditplus, maybe now’s the time to switch to driving an EV!
